Café restaurants in Plovdiv

  1. A

    Café Starino

    One of Plovdiv’s oldest and most atmospheric cafés, this dark, weathered place next to the Hotel Renaissance has a thick bar and pillowy, Ottoman-style bench-tables on the upper section. Behind the antique, handpainted walls are even older, Turkish-era sections. The Starino attracts mostly a subdued, local crowd.

    Art Cafe Philipopolis

    Adjacent to the Philipopolis Art Gallery, the café has a garden section with views, while indoors there’s a nonsmoking section. Light breakfasts and lunches are served, along with coffees and cocktails, though the musical offerings (the rock ballads of Bryan Adams and Aerosmith, over and over) could hardly be called arty.

    Dreams

    This excellent and very popular café on pl Stambolov is the perfect place to relax before the square’s giant gushing fountain on a balmy summer’s day. It serves surprisingly good cakes, along with numerous alcoholic and nonalcoholic drinks. There’s also a spacious upstairs hall.

    Café Taksim Tepe

    With its patio setting overlooking Plovdiv’s old red roofs, this tiny place has a relaxing vibe and (sometimes) plays ragtime and jazz. Despite the allusive name, it doesn’t serve Turkish coffee.

    Café Avenue

    Very popular with locally known personalities, black-clad businessmen and students too, this fashionable, dressed-up café plays retro, house and dance music.
